This excellent site located northeast of the winery was planted in 1999 with clones 667 and 115. At an elevation of around 100 meters, just over 5 kilometers, from Lake Ontario, this vineyard is planted just south of Hanck Vineyard and is home to magnesium-rich clay loam soils, producing wines with excellent minerality and structure.

It jumps from the glass with a lifted floral note followed by concentrated dark cherries, forest berries, damp earth, savoury notes and spice (27% new oak). It’s pretty and untamed at the same time with complexity and layers of red berries, cassis, and anise. " - Rick VanSickle, Wines In Niagara
